My December 2015, interview with Michelle Gelineau. Take a listen, YOU will not be disappointed. #GoodSoul #GreatAdvice #JesusLovesYou

"Franciscan friar and retreat leader, Dan Horan shines a new light on Christian dilemmas." Each chapter begins by drawing the reader to a scripture verse. I was drawn to the one called, "The Prophetic Burden." The idea of being called by God out of our comfort zone to share the Good News. Whether I am doing so online, on air or in person, there is always a part of me that wants to bolt for the door. Like Jeremiah, featured in this chapter, I am forever feeling inadequate - you MUST have the wrong person God. For Nothing is impossible for God - it is His Grace. Do you find yourself scratching your head at God? This book is for you...

A Seeking Heart Episode: Meeting God in the Upper Room

Two Other recommendations from Franciscan Media:

DISCLAIMER: Some of these books were sent by Franciscan Media for consideration for inclusion on A Seeking Heart, and a fair and honest review.

Cristina and I also gushed about Stephanie Landsem's Book:

For 2017, A Seeking Heart underwent a few programming changes. While we still explore lots of good Catholic Spiritual Reading - I also wanted to introduce some of my favorite Catholic Bloggers. It is such a joy to hear their voices after reading their inspiring words for so long! This month also included a farewell to friend and past A Seeking Heart Show Producer - Jennifer Longworth.

What Cassandra Poppe and her family developed to help Fulton re-integrate after being severely burned in a homestead accident ... the birth of 'burn cards' ... and how you can help:

"That day finally came but brought with it new challenges; the biggest being that of socially reintegrating Fulton into society in a way that both gave him confidence and made him feel less of an oddity. And indeed, this was a challenge. For while Fulton’s face, ravaged by fire and covered in skin grafts, was still beautiful to those who love him, most people who encountered him at the store, restaurants and playground simply saw his scars. The patches of baldness on his head. His missing ears.We were partially prepared for the stares and the comments that came his way. “I was burned,” was something Fulton said several times a day when we went out into public, but we noticed that so much was left unsaid. Parents of curious children would whisk their children away, embarrassed by their children’s reactions and frequently express this embarrassment by being overly harsh with them.We felt bad for Fulton, still too young to understand why people seemed to avoid him, or why children seemed to get into trouble just for asking questions. We felt bad for the children, who in most cases meant no harm but were simply naturally curious about another child who looked drastically different from themselves.And we also felt bad for the parents, who had no idea they were to be suddenly faced with having to deal with the unpredictable behavior of their own children. It was always so awkward, and we soon dreaded leaving the house.Then one day, after a particularly painful encounter, Fulton tearfully asked why a certain boy treated him cruelly. “They just don’t know what happened to me,” he lamented. And from that moment, the idea of Fulton’s burn cards was born." ...learn more by clicking the image below!

Finding God's Peace - Discussion Day 1

Discussion - Day 2

Interview with Heidi Bratton

The Retreat will be held at the Betania II Retreat Center in Medway, MA.
It will begin on Friday night February 17 and end Sunday afternoon February 19.

The theme is "Pour Love In" and is a paraphrasing of a quote of St. John of the Cross that basically says, "Pour love in where you find none and you will draw love out".

Heidi will speak on Friday night on how you can apply that truth to life's messy situations especially those involving family life. On Saturday, the main speaker will be Fr. André Patenaude, M.S (AKA Fr. Pat the singing priest) from the La Salette Shrine in Attleboro, MA. **As an aside -- I was blessed to attend Mass with Fr. Pat on the evening of my interview with Heidi. Godcidence, right! The Mass was incredible -not that receiving Jesus isn't always enough but we were all enamored by Fr. Pat's gentle, warm and inviting presence. This retreat will be an amazing experience - I am trying to figure out how to get myself free to attend!!

There will be opportunity for Mass, Confession, Adoration, praise and worship etc.
